Question about setting sag. I have 13 inch Revo-A shocks. Can I set the sag measuring from the bottom bolt to the fender and go with an inch or do I have to measure from bolt to bolt? When I watched Ohlins videos, they used a point on the rear fender as a measurement. Any issues with doing that?

Thanks!

 

Maybe this will help.

 

since the shocks aren't perpendicular to the fender or the ground, a bolt to bolt vs measuring fender to bolt or fender to ground will net you two different measurements. a true 1" sag would be measured bolt to bolt. But I believe most the industry goes off of the bolt to fender/ fender to ground measurement. it doesnt really matter. the measurement will be close enough either way. but with a 13.5" I would opt for the 1" bolt to bolt, that way you have a true 1" of sag and have a wee more down/ droop travel from the shock. Which will make for a slightly better ride if you have lots of pot holes your tires need to droop out for.

 

Use zip ties much easier if your by yourself.

 

That is exactly what I thought. Going to measure it right.

 

The instructions state from the center of the top bolt tp the center of the bottom bolt.

 

Who reads instructions?

 

The guy who didn't resort to a message board forum instead of the manufacturers recommendations?

 

He probably thought there could be additional way to set it after he watched the videos. Hence why he asked here.

 

Usually me...after I can't figure out what the damn pictures are trying to say...lol.
